El Apagón
La Sonora Dinamita Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴¡Ay, con el apagón qué cosas suceden!

No me digas nada porque yo
Me imagino ya qué te pasó
No me digas nada porque yo
Me imagino ya qué te pasó

Papá, yo tuve papá

Tuve amores a escondidas
Pero tengo que decirte
Algo que me ha sucedido, papá

Papá, ¿qué tienen los hombres?
Pa′ endulzar a las mujeres
Que apenas nos acarician
Hacen de uno lo que quieren, papá

Yo fui con el novio mío, papá
Al apartamento de él, papá
No encontrabamos qué hacer, papá
Nos pusimos a jugar, papá, papá

Entonces se puso hacerme
Cosquillitas por acá
Sentados en un sofá
Mirando televisión, papá (¿qué fue?)

Quién confieza sus pecados
Tiene derecho al perdón

No me digas nada porque yo
Me imagino ya qué te pasó
No me digas nada porque yo
Me imagino ya qué te pasó

Bueno, y esta historia continuará
Con La Sonora Dinamita

Buenas noches suegro
¡Qué va!

No me digas nada porque yo
Me imagino ya qué te pasó
No me digas nada porque yo
Me imagino ya qué te pasó

Papá, mi novio me dijo
Ven mi vida, ven acá
Como pronto nos casamos
¿Qué más vamos a esperar?, papá

Me besó con tanto amor
Que no tuve más qué hacer
Aceptar sus pretenciones
Y besarlo yo también, papá

De pronto hubo un apagón, papá
Qué miedo el que a mí me dio, papá
El sueño me traicionó, papá
Y me dormí sin querer

Pero cuando desperté
Ya no había nada qué hacer
Cerré los ojos y lloré
Pensando en el apagón, papá (¿qué fue?)

Quién confieza sus pecados
Tiene derecho al perdón

No me digas nada porque yo
Me imagino ya qué te pasó

No me digas nada porque yo
Me imagino ya qué te pasó
